Jasmine earned $4,000 from her business?

Jasmine earned $4,000 from her business. She gave 1/5 of it to her daughter and son-in-law as a gift. She invested ½ of the remaining amount. How much did she have left?

Jasmine earned $4,000 from her business?
Start with 4000.





1/5 of 4000 = 800 leaves 3200


1/2 of 3200 = 1600





So she has 1600 remaining
Reply:"She gave 1/5 of it as a gift"


(1/5)$4000 = $800 gift


$4000-$800 = $3200 remaining





"She invested ½ of the remaining amount"


(1/2)$3200 = $1600 invested


$3200-$1600 = $1600 remaining
Reply:Earning = $ 4,000





Give 1/5 to her daughter %26amp; son-in-law





4,000 x 1/5 = 4,000/ 5 = $ 800


Remaining amount = 4,000 - 800 = $ 3,200


Invest 1/2 of 3,200 = 1/2 x 3,200 = 3,200/2 = $ 1,600





hOW MUCH DID SHE HAVE LEFT?





4,000 - 800 - 1,600 = $ 1,600 ==%26gt; LEFT TO HER
Reply:1600 bucks and that is enough for me to buy a new computer!
Reply:Well, 1/5 is 20%. 20% of $4000 is 800.





4000 - 800 = 3200.





1/2 of 3200 is 1600





She has 1600 left
Reply:Jasmine has $1,600 left.
